WASHINGTON (October 15, 2024) – Join World Resources Institute for a press call on October 30th, 2024 at 8:30 am EST/1:30 pm CET, where experts will discuss expectations for a successful outcome at the upcoming COP29 climate summit.  

Journalists: Register Here. 

WRI experts will outline some of most significant and contentious issues that negotiators will contend with at the COP29 negotiations in Baku, Azerbaijan. Key topics include what it will take for countries to agree on a new climate finance goal (known as the new collective quantified goal, or NCQG); the need for countries to set more ambitious climate targets through their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) — which are due early next year — and getting financial support flowing to developing countries to cope with losses and damage from climate impacts.  

Live translations will also be available in French, Spanish, and Portuguese.  

Following brief remarks, we will open the floor to questions.
